    That's Zefram Cochrane, he creates the first warp capable drive in Treks history, which leads to first contact with the Vulcan, and is the subject of the film Star Trek: First Contact

      In Star Trek Discovery, Cochrane and Musk get specifically compared to each other, and to the Wright Brothers.

      Jesus that's fitting.

      EDIT: the only problem is that technically the Pakleds do have ftl space travel, so the melon-musk comparison is a little unfair to them

        The implication seems to be though that it's not "their" FTL space travel, it's FTL space travel they've appropriated through manipulation.
